Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

648. maDhuripupadhamithraIrvaIramindhO: sarOjaI: 
shamayithumiva thArA: sEvamAnAschiram thvAm
prachurakiraNapUrA: pAdhukE! samshrithAnAm
kalikaluShashESham kshALayanthIva mukthA: 

Oh Paaduka! One surmises that the pearls on You are but the stars, 
which have come to seek the Lord's forbearance so that the offence 
committed by the moon (their husband) in harbouring enmity towards 
the lotuses which are close friends of the Lord's Feet, which have 
since then, been washing off our Kali-inherent-sins by means of their 
abundant effulgence.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkma 648

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan compares the pearls on 
the PaadhukAs to the stars and imagines as to what they are doing on 
the PaadhukAs.He says: " Oh PaadhukE! The stars have joined You as 
pearls with humility to remove the enimity between the lotus with 
its strong friendship to Your Lord's feet and the Moon , their 
(Stars')husband . Through their association with You , the pearls
(stars) spread their benevolent rays all around and remove 
the blemishes of Kali Yuga for those , who seek refuge under 
them just as the floodwaters remove the accumulated mud
on the banks of rivers. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! A lot of pearls have 
been enmeshed on Your surface. Their lustre reminds one of
the clear flood waters of Ganga. These pearls also look like
the Stars. Why would the stars, whose normal home is sky
come down to reside on the Paadhukai? Stars are the wives of
Chandran , who has a long standing quarrel with the lotuses ,.
which close their petals at the sight of the Moon and only
blossom , when the Sun rises. The same lotus has a deep 
friendship to the Lord's Thiruvadi.The stars (Chandran's wives) 
know that enimity of their husband towards the friend of a powerful
person (The Lord) is not desirable. Therefore , the stars 
approach You and stay with You to seek help in settling
the long standing dispute between the lotus and their
husband.

3)Madhuripu PaadhukE! The stars have taken refuge in You
for settling the long standing dispute between the Lotus and 
their husband , Chandran ( Madhuripu Padha-mithrai: SarOjai:
IndhO: vairam samayithum sEvamAnA: TaarA: iva).Those dense rows 
of pearls appear to wash away through its flood of effulgence
the mud of sins associated with Kali Yugam like a flood
washes away the mud accumulated on the banks of a river
( Prachura kiraNapoorA: mukthA : Kali kalusha asEsham 
KshALayanthi iva)...(V.S).
